As an artist, Dhruva Mistry shares the world of his own interest and aspiration, which, in his own words, ‘evolves with the time-honoured methods of conceiving ideas and images’ in different materials. Art, then, for Mistry, becomes ‘an unceasing search for forms [to sustain] my visual curiosity…’ Primarily a sculptor, Mistry’s drawings and paintings are sources derived from a sculpturesque tradition, which has been painstakingly evolved by the artist. Woman, then, is a buxom female figure that is rendered in a manner that he would use for his figurative sculptures.
